"Forehead……"

Upon seeing Su Xiaoxiao's message, Shen Qing's mouth opened slightly, and he fell silent for a moment. Could he simply say that he had picked up a girl?

That's definitely not going to work. It's already a favor that Su Xiaoxiao didn't send him to the police station.

"For my sister-in-law."

He made up a reason, though he did have that thought. Usually, his sister-in-law would buy clothes for him and his brother; she rarely bought any for herself.

"Oh," Su Xiaoxiao replied quickly, "What size?"

Shen Qing glanced at the female head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) who was engrossed in watching TV, "What size...?"

If you ask, she definitely won't know. So, take the clothes she changed out of and measure them?

His gaze involuntarily drifted to the balcony, where Shen Qingtang's freshly washed linen clothes were hanging.

Putting aside whether she'd be seen as a pervert, she'd probably just go and risk her life.

"That one, Qingtang."

Shen Qing put down her phone and walked over. "I just fulfilled your request for a Coke, so shouldn't you grant me one too?"

He felt that sincerity was the ultimate weapon.

However, it seemed that something was amiss with the expression, and Shen Qingtang immediately became alert and shrank into a corner of the sofa.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Sure enough, those who offer unsolicited kindness are either up to no good or are thieves. Is that sweet black water still too expensive?

"I will pay you back."

Shen Qingtang pursed her lips, though she had no idea what she could do.

"No, I wouldn't do anything to you over a little food," Shen Qing said with a helpless smile. "I don't have any clothes that suit you here."

But when buying clothes, you need to know your size, like your height and weight.

As for underwear and such, I'll probably have to go to the mall with someone to buy it; I can't ask anyone for help.

He didn't want to be seen as a pervert.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingtang subconsciously looked at the clothes she was wearing, tugged at the collar, and found that they were indeed a bit uncomfortable and a little too big.

"How do I measure it?" she asked hesitantly.

"Leave it to me."

Shen Qing rummaged through the coffee table drawer and found a measuring tape, then pulled out a scale from underneath. She quickly measured Su Xiaoxiao's height and weight and sent the measurements to her.

"Thank you so much, I will never forget your great kindness."

The message had just been sent, and before Su Xiaoxiao could reply, Chen Chen, who had been silent since last night, finally responded, saying he was free on Wednesday, the day after tomorrow.

"What's wrong with this guy? It's been a whole day since he replied to my message."

"Hello, delivery."

Hearing the knock on the door, Shen Qing shook her head and didn't think about it anymore. After all, they were all about to graduate and had their own things to do.

Su Xiaoxiao replied at the same time, "Received."

However, in contrast to the calm on her phone, in a bedroom in a high-end residential area, Su Xiaoxiao was frantically tagging Gu Jingshi.

She shook her head as she looked at the data Shen Qing sent.

"Stop messing around."

1.72 meters tall.

No, absolutely not.

She had met Shen Qing's sister-in-law before. She didn't know anything else, but her height was right. She was very sensitive about height, so she was probably less than 1.7 meters tall at most.

Shen Qing is dishonest.

"Oh no! Shocking news!!! Your man is about to be stolen away by someone else!"

"Answer me!"

Su Xiaoxiao jumped out of bed in a panic and paced back and forth in the room. Just when her best friend had changed her mind, Shen Qing was about to run away.

Being caught in the middle is really tough for her!

Half an hour passed, but Gu Jingshi still hadn't replied.

If she weren't worried about interfering with her potential meetings, Su Xiaoxiao would have called directly.

"Just came from the company, what's up?"

Finally, the phone rang, and a message from Gu Jingshi arrived.

"Sister! Your man!!"

Su Xiaoxiao's fingers flew across the keyboard. "He just messaged me, asking me to buy clothes for other girls!!"

Then, she sent over the chat history from earlier.

"What's wrong? I just asked you to help me pick out some clothes. Didn't I say they were for his sister-in-law?"

Gu Jingshi spoke calmly, even sending a smiling emoji.

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes widened as if she wanted to pierce the phone screen. "I've met her sister-in-law before, she's probably not even 1.7 meters tall..."

"It's okay, you might have remembered it wrong."

That's not what I meant!

Su Xiaoxiao was so anxious that she wished she could crawl up the internet cable and shake this overconfident woman awake.

"Don't worry, I know what you're worried about."

Gu Jingshi's message was filled with certainty: "But Shen Qing is completely bad at chatting. Even if a girl takes a liking to him, she'll probably get angry and leave quickly. He definitely won't escape my grasp."

"Alright, I have something to do, my dear Xiaoxiao, let's talk later."

There was no reply after that, leaving Su Xiaoxiao anxious and worried. Her best friend was far too confident.

"No, I need to check the situation first."

Of course, he had no intention of causing trouble for Shen Qing, since both of them were her friends.

……

In the heart of Binhai city, beneath the Gu's Building, a pharmaceutical company.

Gu Jingshi stood in front of the revolving door, put away his phone, and muttered, "Is Shen Qing trying to run away?"

She already knew about Shen Qing's family situation: his older brother was Jiang Cheng, and his sister-in-law was Su Wan. This was indeed not his sister-in-law's height.

But so what?

In every aspect—wealth, ability, looks, even figure—Gu Jingshi has never been afraid of anyone. What right do others have to compete with her?

"Don't worry, Shen Qing, I'll come find you after I've finished dealing with things at the company."

Looking at her reflection in the glass, Gu Jingshi's eyes were full of confidence; she never forgot what she wanted.

She knew that it was wrong of her to suddenly cut off contact, but she would make it up to her.

Stepping out of the lobby, the night wind howled, causing Gu Jingshi's red hair to flutter. She looked up at the upper floors of the building, where a light was still on.

He then gave a disdainful snort.

What a bunch of old fogies! When her father was alive, he consulted her on many things, and now he wants her to marry into an arranged marriage? He's dreaming!

The phone rang again.

Gu Jingshi glanced at the caller ID, the coldness in his eyes instantly vanished, and his voice softened.

"Mother, I'm going back now."

After exchanging a few words, Gu Jingshi hung up the phone and walked towards the parking lot.

A red Ferrari SF90 was parked in its designated parking space. She walked over, and the moment she touched the hidden door handle, the door unlocked automatically.

She got into the driver's seat but didn't start the engine immediately. Her gaze fell on the message sent by Su Xiaoxiao.

"1.72 meters is not short, but it's still a bit shorter than mine."

……

Meanwhile, in the Sunshine Community.

Shen Qing had finished dinner and tidied up the takeout containers. He then took out the toiletries he had bought and invited Shen Qingtang into the bathroom.

"Here, this is toothpaste."

He opened the packaging, squeezed out a little white toothpaste onto the back of his hand, and a cool sensation spread.

You should recognize a toothbrush, right?

Shen Qing handed her the newly bought toothbrush, saying, "Toothpaste is a substitute for tooth powder or salt. If you drink cola and don't brush your teeth, you'll get cavities."

"Tooth decay?"

Shen Qingtang tilted her head, looking puzzled.

"It's like invisible worms growing inside your teeth, and it hurts a lot."

"A cavity?!"

Shen Qingtang realized what was happening and immediately covered her cheek. She had witnessed the pain of teeth before; an old bodyguard could writhe on the ground in agony.

"Brush your teeth up and down; that's the most scientific way. As for what science is, don't ask me."

That's something that can't be explained in a short time.

"And then there's this."

Looking at the bag of colorful women's products, Shen Qing scratched her head and opened her browser to search.

"I can't teach you how to use this. You'll have to learn by watching the videos."

He handed over the phone and consciously stepped back a few paces.

Shen Qingtang looked down at the screen, initially puzzled, but then blushed and glanced at him.

Shen Qing pretended not to see it, returned to the living room, and listened to the muffled sounds from the bathroom.

I feel like I should buy her a phone too.

Not only does it make it easier to contact her, but after teaching her how to use a mobile phone, she can also look up things she doesn't understand online.

However, we should consider enabling a youth mode to prevent them from being influenced by all sorts of random things.
